Join us on our journey with Zeremis to a carbon-neutral, circular world


Steel is the world’s most recycled packaging material
Steel protects and preserves its contents and helps to reduce waste by offering a long shelf life. Steel packaging is easy to recover from mixed waste streams and can be recycled over and over again with no loss of quality. At Tata Steel Nederland, we are committed to playing our part in moving towards a sustainable global society. As a major producer of steel for packaging, we invest time, expertise and money in operations and initiatives that both promote and deliver sustainability in packaging.
We take action to:
- recycle steel packaging on a huge scale
- demonstrate our full commitment to the circular economy
- play our part in ensuring an effective regulatory environment for steel packaging by supporting the action required to achieve recycling targets
- ensure our packaging complies with REACH regulations – as in our work on REACH and chromium-free passivation
- deliver benefits from steel recycling by working in partnership with others
The Innovation Centre provides the technical knowledge and skills to help keep your products at the forefront of the market.
We have access to the global expertise of the Tata Steel Research and Development department. Based in IJmuiden, the Netherlands, the Innovation Centre has available to it some of the best research, development and technical resources in the steelmaking and tinplate world.
Our investigations include studies of corrosion and mechanical performance during handling, processing and storing. We use computer modelling to predict performance before the actual component is produced, speeding up development time and reducing trial and error.
Dealing with all aspects of the packaging supply chain, from welding, forming and coating to filling, seaming, sterilising and recycling, it provides excellent technological knowledge and skills. Our laboratory testing capabilities cover:
